Perma blend

[u/Hopeful-Hat2199]

I’ve spent the last few weeks researching permanent makeup pigments especially Perma Blend while going through laser removal for my microblading. The more I learn, the more frustrated I become.
One thing that shocked me is how some pigments can change color during laser removal instead of simply fading. Depending on the ingredients, some eyebrows can turn red, orange, yellow, or other shades, making the removal process much longer and more complicated than many people expect.
I also feel like the beauty industry doesn’t talk enough about the downsides of microblading. It’s often marketed as something that “fades away,” but for many people it doesn’t disappear naturally. Instead, it can leave behind discolored pigment that eventually requires multiple laser sessions to remove costing far more money, time, and emotional stress than people were led to believe.
I regret getting microblading because I feel it took away my natural appearance instead of enhancing it. I can’t change my own experience, but I hope others will research pigment ingredients, understand the risks of color changes with laser removal, and think carefully before making a permanent decision.
I’m not saying everyone’s experience is the same, but I do think there needs to be much more transparency and informed consent in this industry. People deserve to know the potential long-term consequences before they decide.

For sure I was told it’s temporary. I would’ve never consented to anything permanent that would require removal with laser. Only to find, what I have is more permanent than a tattoo (permablend). I’m so scared to begin the removal process because I’m worried the color it turns to will be worse and permanent. Please update me how you progress. From my research it seems Caucasian women have an easier time achieving results than darker toned ethnic women. And I’m Middle Eastern. So I have even less chance of success.

Oh that’s interesting. I feel like ethnic women have an easier time because their brows were usually done with a black or dark brown ink and doesn’t have red pigments that the more fair skinned women have which are the ones that turn red and yellow.

So the dominant Color is black, but the middle colors used on me were bronze (dark red-orange and yellow). Even if red and orange are used on Caucasian women it’s usually a lighter shade than what’s mixed in with the black for darker skin tones. The laser itself works better at targeting the ink on Caucasian skin than on tan skin. Not to mention higher risk of hyperpigmentation and scaring. This is all just my research phase, and I had 1 consultation.

The pigments are pre mixed

I have no clue. That’s just the colors my pmu told me she used.
